I was advised yesterday (11/09/2009) that the government has recently, about two weeks ago, set-up a court, tribunal or the like, to scrutinise council decisions with regard to their lawfulness or otherwise.

We apparently already have such a scheme / system in Brum attached to the courts.

I have not heard about this previously ..... can anyone throw any light on this please??

And 'wannabe' I don't mean pictures of candles, or sunrises or the like!!!

I haven't heard that, but I think the DfT would be interested to hear of any crazy council licensing decision.

Maybe the next set of good practise guidance will be statutory.

I think he meant that the next set of Best Practice Guidance should become mandatory by way of statute.

It would appear not.

From what I gather ordinary GPG allows councils to do what they want, and have a right good cherry pick.

Statutory GPG is similar, but if they don't do a particular bit of GPG they have to explain why to the DfT.

Now that would be very interesting to see.

CC contrary to popular belief or more to the point YOUR belief the sun does not always shine every time you drop your kex and your guidance certainly does not come from god

I think it would be very hard for our rules to be defined definitely in any act.

How long has it taken for WAV rules to arrive?

However it would be a lot easier to pass statutory guidance, or so I'm told, and that will help standardise things.

BC ... may I suggest that by the time it was passed it would read..Hackney Carriage & Private Hire Best Practice Guidance Act 3010.
